    I get why he wishes he could have shot The Witch on film, but man, he and Jarin Blaschke made fantastic use of digital's high dynamic range to bring out all the minute details and gradients of shadow that immerse you in the characters' perspectives. Best example is when Caleb comes across the witch in the woods, and the half-light of dusk subtly obscures her features in a way you couldn't quite get on celluloid. Just a blast to hear him talk about this stuff in depth.

  • @RADFLIKINCRRQT13

    Eggers has quickly become one of my favorite new filmmakers. I liked how he got pretty in depth on his book report style approach to writing and crafting his stories. And his thorough research and dedication to historical accuracy seems to be getting a positive response from a ton of big name, talented actors, which is very exciting and must be so pleasing to Robert. I really can not wait to see what Eggers can do next and look very much forward to seeing him grow as an artist and auteur style filmmaker. It's been said a few times in interviews about his work, that his movies give you a sense of memories, that we never knew we had.

    I'm genuinely surprised to hear how much he doesn't like The VVitch, and that there wasn't originally supposed to be a central protagonist. I tend to be very hyper-focused on perspective, so it's cool to see that differing opinion.

There’s a true beauty in the simplistic way that it’s just two very different characters and actors that trade these amazing dialogue set into this awesome mythos that is rare to ever see much anymore. Very Hitchcockian, very cinematically gorgeous that reminded me of like a Nosferatu silent film made amazing in black and white that makes you really feel. This is a film that makes you appreciate cinematic beauty. Thank you Mr Eggars! Please make more like this!

I want to know why this movie is not acknowledged in any way. I thought the movie was great until I found out about the 2016 one.

    The Witch is worth watching with subtitles. I don’t say that disrespectfully either, it actually makes you appreciate Eggers’ writing even more.

      I agree, but horror films also are often snubbed by the Academy unless they tackle a more specific issue (Get Out for example). Hopefully that'll change in the future. Eggers' next film is a viking revenge tale so that may get more award love than The Witch and The Lighthouse did.

    What's great about Eggers films truly isn't just his ability and knowledge to work within the subjects of the past, but to carry even the least interested party through the experience despite that. He just sucks you into his films. And low and behold, he's just a sweet, kinda shy guy who just loves stories. Go figure.
